Radio streams by SomaFM and Radio Paradise, both listener supported.
Ninety minutes is the deep work block: one problem, one sitting, no switching. It roughly matches the natural rhythm your attention already runs on, which is why it feels sustainable when a third hour never does. The trade is that the break has to be real, so this page gives you twenty minutes and means it. Put the phone somewhere else, pick a station with no vocals, and do not check anything until the chime.
The classic pomodoro is 25 minutes, which is ideal for email, expenses and other small dread. But work that needs a run up has a habit of ending at 25 minutes precisely when you have stopped faffing and started thinking. Thirty buys you that extra stretch and still finishes before your attention wanders off to see if anyone has replied to anything. If you are a 25 purist, or one of those 50 minute machines, settings will take anything from 1 to 180.
Properly free. No account, no email address, no cheerful message about updated terms. Nothing here leaves your browser, which also means your session count stays strictly between you and your laptop.
Live streams from SomaFM and Radio Paradise, two of the good ones. Listener funded, advert free, and still going strong while everything else got an algorithm. If you have them on all week, send them a few quid.
Yes. Settings sits under the timer and will accept anything from 1 to 180 minutes, along with your own break lengths. A one minute pomodoro is not a productivity method, but nobody is stopping you.
Mostly. The timer, the chime and the rain and cafe sounds are built inside your browser out of thin air, so they carry on regardless. The radio needs the internet, on account of being radio.
There is always a cat. This one dozes while you are paused and opens their eyes the moment you start, which is more accountability than most of us get.
Same timer, same radio, different block. Pick whichever suits the work.
Built in Edinburgh, mostly in 30 minute bursts.
